I am a theatre maker, writer researcher and educator.

My research, creative and pedagogical practice is driven by my belief in storytelling as an empowering act.​​

​​

As an educator I have extensive experience teaching English and Drama in Higher Education,  Further Education and Secondary schools.  As a lecturer in 'Writing for Performance' at the University of Roehampton I received 5/5 for overall student satisfaction. 

​

As a Techne (AHRC) Phd Scholar (2019-2024) based at the University of Roehampton, I investigated how images of the white dead female body are entwined with empire.  My research proposed that live performance of poetic verbal imagery allows an attending audience to conjure the spectral violence entwined with such images. ​

​

Central to my practice is Community Engagement and I have instigated partnerships with The Nelson Trust Women's Centre, British Red Cross and Kew Gardens among others. 

​​​​​

​

I am a writer and my writing has been published in various forms including journal articles, book chapters, short stories and poetry.
